Forget yourself by becoming interested in others. Do every day a good deed that will put a smile of joy on someone's face.

By talking to yourself about the things you have to be grateful for you can fill your mind with thoughts that soar and sing.

If you must make a mistake, make a new one each time.

So, to prevent fatigue and worry, the first rule is: Rest often. Rest before you get tired.

If you are not in the process of becoming the person you want to be, you are automatically engaged in becoming the person you don't want to be.

You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.

Millions of people have wrecked their lives in angry turmoil, because they refused to accept the worst; refused to try to improve upon it; refused to salvage what they could from the wreck. Instead of trying to reconstruct their fortunes, they engaged in a bitter and "violent contest with experience"- and ended up victims of that brooding fixation known as melancholia.
